The Oregonian Endorses Novick

As far as newspaper endorsements go, a statewide candidate can't land a bigger fish than the Oregonian.

And that's just what former underdog candidate for U.S. Senate Steve Novick did today.

Fresh off the heals of wrapping up a nod from Southern Oregon's Medford Mail-Tribune, Novick's bold campaign and forthright style have impressed the editorial board of the state's largest newspaper.

Novick is an unusual man with an unusual resume -- characteristics that some suggest aren't suited to the U.S. Senate. But we think his passion, his intellect and his personal style give him an intriguing combination of qualities that most senators don't possess.

We think Novick represents a bold choice for Democrats who seek to dislodge a veteran incumbent. He has the potential to press Smith as he has done Merkley. And, should he pull off what would be a major electoral upset and go to Washington as the new junior senator from Oregon, he has the potential to make Oregonians proud.

Go, Steve, go!
